What is a MAC address?

Answer

The College uses the MAC address to securely link your device(s) to the College Network.

 

A MAC address is often required when configuring a network router for device filtering or during network troubleshooting.

While logged in to a device, a user can typically find a MAC address in the system settings, general information or network settings and status of the device. Commonly, the MAC address is affixed to the bottom of a device on a printed label. Sometimes, manufacturers identify a MAC address by other names, such as physical address, hardware ID, wireless ID or Wi-Fi address.
